Dear faithful friends and fans of Vices I Admire,

Halloween is coming up very soon. Sunday October 31st to be exact, and we'll be reviving our old tradition of donning costumes that very much undermine the seriousness of our music. We'll be going as accountants. Or something better. Yes, certainly something better. Something that shows more...skin, probably. No matter what shreds of cloth we decide to cover ourselves with, we'll be rocking Hodi's Halfnote on Halloween as is our want when we visit our musical birthplace of Fort Collins. Autumn Burn, Glyphic, Immortal Dominion, and Finding Nowhere will be joining us on the stage and we can't wait! The show will start at 7:00PM, is all ages, and tickets will be $5 presale (which you can find here), $7 the day of the show.

We've also booked a show for December 18th at The Bluebird Theater in Denver! We'll be headlining the show and the band roster for the night is shaping up nicely, we'll hit you with all of the details shortly.

Finally, we're getting very close to a visit to the studio. That's right, no more waiting four years for an album from us! We'll be rocking a couple of the songs that will surely be on this next album at Hodi's. It's hard to believe how long it's been since we released our first album, we were so young, so innocent, so angry...ah, the good times.  In fact, you can share in our nostalgia by following this link to download the song For You All off of our first album, Plan B. Or you can follow this link to download the entire album for free! Happy Halloween!

Support good music! Local, International, Macronesional, as long as it's good!

I'm sure I am behind the times on this one as usual but I just saw this video the other day and both the video and the song are quite interesting. The song is called "The Dog Days Are Over" and it is performed by an English artist called Florence + the Machine. Enjoy! -- Mark

Hello, ladies and germs. I know we've been keeping pretty quiet, but we've been working hard at many things. We've successfully moved out of the old band house and got our new houses and practice space looking nice. We've decided that trash really ought to go in the trash can, and that moldy food isn't as good as it looks, and have started working on that. Sniff, we're finally growing up. Anyways, we're set up again and we've got another show, as well as some itching to make a new record. Read on, friends, read on.

We're returning to one of our favorite establishments, Moe's BBQ, on Friday, September 10th to take the stage with our friends in Skyfox! They are having a fundraiser to "get Matt (their bassist) head". It's not exactly what ya think... apparently the guy's in need of a new BASS head for his rig. But if you are feeling generous feel free to contribute in any fashion you would like. We're also stoked to work with 2 bands we have yet to perform with: Heart & Soul Radio and Faces of Radio.

This will most likely be one of our last shows before we retreat to the studio to work on a new record. Come check out some of the new tunes and give us your input! Or give us a rotten vegetable to the gullet, we appreciate either.

Pre-sale tickets are available for $7; it'll cost ya $10 at the door the day of the show. This one may sell out so get your tickets early; email us at band AT vicesiadmire.com and we'll throw some tickets in the mail for ya with no additional charge. Tickets are also available online at http://www.moesdenver.com/show/detail/32130. If you're into that whole social networking business, you can giggle in anticipation as you peruse our show page here.

The fine folks at Universal Music will be raffling off a brand spankin' new Ibanez ARX guitar at the show.

The show is 16+ and will get started at 9pm. Shoot us a line with any questions! See ya at the show!

It is truly the end of an era. Mickey, Dave and Mark are moving out of the "band house" to their own pad, as they say. The move out has been truly epic, spending hours, nay, days cleaning the dirt that collected over three years of neglect to the house! We even found a dead mouse underneath the fridge. I wonder how much he added to the smell of the kitchen over his time under the fridge. Either way, it's going to be fun to set up the studio in Dave's new digs and get started with jamming again, this will probably be the longest we've gone without playing music in upwards of six years! Crazy.

I like drumming quite a bit. I also like the band Radiohead quite a bit. So you can imagine I was a bit excited when I heard that the drummer from Radiohead, Phillip Selway, has just release a new solo record titled Familial. You can download the first track off the new record, Some Kind of Miracle, for free at http://www.philipselway.com/. It's a beautiful, calming piece that came as a surprise to me. I haven't heard the rest of the record yet but I plan to scoop it up soon and I recommend you do the same. That is all.
